In a former `life` I was an aircraft qualified BTC on the A330 for seven years when most of our training was done on the aircraft before ZFT became more common and the thing about this AAIB report that really raised my eyebrows was the report that when the company involved analysed the flight data recorders they found that the candidate had been involved in 8 out of 28 DUALSIDESTICK INPUTS on landing!
This fact alone reflects very badly on the training given and presumably the subsequent `write-ups` on the training records. I am not at all surprised that the trainee, who was marginal at best, proved to have a very poor grasp of the what was required from a normal flare. Airbus go to great lengths to warn about making dual inputs yet here appears to be yet another company that chooses to ignore the experience of other operators.
